NOVEL STUDY TEACHER'S GUIDE There are so many great benefits of using novel studies in your classroom. For starters, a literature-rich curriculum has been shown to improve reading and writing skills (Fook & Sidhu, 2010). Novel studies can also serve to give students exposure to perspectives or experiences. They are a chance to help readers visualize and develop an understanding of things that they have never had happen in their lives. Even when a novel covers a familiar experience, it often offers a different perspective on it. Having conversations about reading can also serve as a tool for building students' abilities to carry on an intellectual conversation with peers and develop social and communication skills.
